My romantic Valentine’s Day evening consisted of teaching myself to etch circuit boards. Thanks to this wonderful YouTube video, Jameco Electronics, and a few bottles of champagne I managed to make a few feeble attempts at etching circuitry. I would like to implement this material into my studio practice. I started by creating two circuit boards. One is an actual circuit board, a Ethernet Arduino compatible controller board to be precise and the other is not a circuit board at all but a painting by Bernard Frize. My goal is to create a functioning circuit board from a work of art. Don’t ask how… I’m not even sure yet… but thats how art and science works.

I will be participating in Art Liars upcoming improv events by donating works and strange objects to prompt improv acts. Eventually plans will be made to integrate Wall.e the makerbot as well.
The ARTLIARS are:
A) an improv team
B) a collective of contributing makers, writers, artists, and performers
C) churlish nomads looking for an absolute to challenge and an ism to crush
D) a pun on pop economics and market based art exchange
E) putting the / in the 1 %
We turn fiction into fact. We raise our middle brows. We breathe in hot air and breathe out the sublime. We eat press releases for breakfast. We turn tricks for the almighty scholar. We trick ourselves. Our work is never done.
one of the objects to be donated: glass corset (as seen in L Magazine)

Time: TBA
Name: SPRING/BREAK ART SHOW

Last weekend the gif booth team [Mary Huang, Katie Wendt, Daniel Arce, Winslow Porter, Adam Harvey, JR Harvey, and me] encouraged visitors to enter a cardboard booth. Inside black and white patterns were projected on the visitor as they were offered funny mustaches and glasses printed on a makerbot. Once they pushed a button on the floor they had 5 seconds to take a gif image. The image was projected on the wall outside the booth for all guests at 319 Scholes to see. The looping gif images were also sent though a live feed to a jumbo tron in midtown Manhattan.

L Magazine’s Envy Index: 25 Under 25
December 7th, 2011
In May, 2010, Philly-raised recent RISD grad Ashley Zelinskie moved to Brooklyn to pursue her new media art practice. By early 2011 she’d not only found a studio for herself, but an entire floor of studios and exhibition spaces in a non-descript Johnson Avenue warehouse. In February, The Active Space hosted its first set of exhibitions and open studios, marking a unique and immense addition to the Bushwick gallery scene.
The palpable giddiness on opening night had something to do with the size and polish of the space, but also the atmosphere that Zelinskie, its director, has managed to foster at 566 Johnson Avenue. “I teamed up with the landlord, David Welner,” she explains, “and we decided to create a professional studio environment as well as exhibition space for artists in all stages of their careers.” Since then she and Welner have converted another floor for a total of 27 studios, and they’ve just begun renovating the ground floor into more studios and exhibition spaces. “It’s like having all the benefits of art school without the exorbitant price tag.” (Photos by Crystal Gwyn)
